  • An Alternative to Holiday Consumerism - Buy Nothing!
    We love the holiday season and definitely love scouring the web for fabulous <strong>eco-friendly gifts</strong>, but sometimes we get overwhelmed. With the economy in its lousy state and the fact that we're trying to be good environmental stewards, we aren't buying quite as much anymore. There are days when we wish we could forgo the whole gift-buying frenzy and just have a lovely holiday with our family and friends. And who really has time to buy so many gifts and then wrap them? For those of you out there feeling stressed out from having to buy too many presents, maybe it's time to cut back completely and buy <strong>nothing</strong>.
